Australian Cyber Security Centre likely abandoned its Twitter account

Nick, Sizzle subscriber and my friend who's a cybermall cop, pointed me towards the footer of the ASD's Australian Cyber Security Centre website - cyber.gov.au - with encouragement to tap the X link in the footer, here's a screenshot because it should get fixed soon. Luckily, the owner of X and the Prime Minister of Australia have communication channels open and things are moving along fine so I'm sure this will be cleared up by the social network formerly known as Twitter quick. Using my best detective skills, I think the ACSC abandoned its old Twitter account and an avid NRL Broncos fan changed their username to claim it. I've emailed ASD about it so the hyperlink might be all cleared up by the time you read this but I think we can all agree it's a strange time to be on the internet, with so many (arguably most smart people) abandoning Twitter, trusted sources leave their X usernames available for access by NRL fans, bad actors, or comedians.
